About Us
The Cambridge University Women’s Lacrosse Club (CUWLC) was founded in 1912 and is arguably one of the most successful female sports club at the University. The Club enters 2 teams into the BUCS Leagues (British Universities and Colleges Sport) – the Blues play in the Southern Premier, while the 2nds (the Kingfishers) play in the Midlands Conference. Depending on our teams’ positions in the league, we play in the knock out stages, which occur throughout the season.
Last year the blues were unbeaten until the finals of BUCS where they narrowly missed out on becoming BUCS champions. This year the annual Varsity match is being held in Oxford and we have everything to fight for.
The squad has around 40 players – a number of whom represent their countries at international level. CUWLC looks to strengthen its squad annually and continue to work from and strive off its past achievements, to sustain its position in current leagues, and retain its prestigious status as a Cambridge Full Blue sport.
